Razer has announced a new laptop at CES
in Las Vegas, designed to invade both ultrabook and gaming PC
territory. The laptop, known as the Razer Blade Stealth, can be
purchased with an external desktop graphics solution, providing some
potent, upgradable gaming horsepower.

The look of the Stealth is similar to
previous efforts from the company, and like its other laptops,
there's a high-specced screen on board, with the 12.5-inch touch
display coming in a choice of 4K 3,840 x 2,160 and quad HD 2,560 x
1,440 resolutions. Attention has also been paid to the keyboard, with
individually customizable RGB backlit keys.

The machine measures in at just 0.52 in
(13.2 mm) thick and weighs 2.75 lb (1.25 kg). It's powered by an
Intel Core i7 processor, packs 8 GB of dual channel RAM, and can be
configured with between 128 GB and 512 GB of SSD storage.

While there's only an integrated Intel
HD Graphics 520 solution included in the laptop itself, users will be
able to plug in external graphics cards via an optional accessory,
known as the Razer Core. We've seen this idea before, most notable in
Alienware's Graphics Amplifier, designed to work with the Alienware
13 gaming notebook.

Connecting via a Thunderbolt 3 cable
plugged into the device's USB-C port, the Core can accommodate
full-length desktop graphics cards, hugely improving the notebook's graphics performance. The aluminum case is easily opened up, and the
GPU is secured via a single screw. Users can easily swap in a
different card, making it easy to upgrade performance down the line.

Razer plans to sell the Stealth
directly to consumers, and has worked to keep the cost down. Prices
range from US$999 up to $1,599 depending on specifications, though
that figure doesn't include the Razer Core, or the graphics card you'll need to plug into it. The accessory is set to
ship in the first half of 2016, for an as-of-yet undisclosed price.
